    I?m not so sure how it all went so wrong? The comic is fantastic, a favourite of mine growing up in the late 80?s early 90?s. They don?t seem to have understood any of the characters and have cast it accordingly. I can?t think of any redeeming feature in this film apart from the ...( read more)little snippets of the comics but at the end of the day, they only highlight how badly the film has adapted. What a stinker!

    Kind of goofy and enjoyable if you know the character.

    I'm probably giving it more props than the movie ultimately deserved but I don't care muhahahahaha...It was...ambitious, but manic and really out there! and I quote Roger Ebert..."Whatever the faults of "Tank Girl," lack of ambition is not one of them. Here is a movie that dives ...( read more)into the bag of filmmaking tricks and chooses all of them. Trying to re-create the multimedia effect of the comic books it's based on, the film employs live action, animation, montages of still graphics, animatronic makeup, prosthetics, song-and-dance routines, models, fake backdrops, holography, title cards, matte drawings and computerized special effects. All I really missed were 3-D and Smell-O-Vision."...precisely!

    Actually a ggod movie for all nuts like myself. Bizzare animation surrounded by strange charactors and fictional creatures. Lousy acting in all reallity but still one of my cult favs

    WTF? First, before I even think about commenting on this awful movie, I want to know how it's even possible to have A Clockwork Orange AND Tank Girl both listed on your filmography. Now, I'd like to say that this is THE DUMBEST movie I have ever seen. Usually when I'm watching ...( read more)a movie that I consider "sucky" I fall asleep. I wasn't so lucky this time, I didn't fall asleep. I couldn't take my eyes away from the stupidity of this film. I honestly can't fathom how someone could come up with this corny garbage and actually get people to agree to being a part of it....STUPID!

    A cult favourite to many, not to me. Terrible and cheap looking. Could and should have been much better. A remake is a must.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Enormous energy went into this movie. I could not, however, care about it for much more than a moment at a time, and after awhile its manic energy wore me down. full review

    Tank Girl is an absolute charmer! This once fodder for the negative review rot,has earned a place in the Cult Film Hall Of Fame. It is witty,sarcastic,bombastic, and just plain funny. By far, the best of the Comic genre films churned out by Lalaland.Tank Girl(as played by Lorie Petty)is much more true to the written and drawn version. The film caused quiet a controversy when it first came out due to the battles between director Rachel Talalay and the studio over the final edit. Sadly,the studio won and a lot of scenes that might have even made the film more enjoyable(if possible)were left on the cutting room floor. Some of these deleted scenes are floating around the net-so if you are a Tank Girl fan you may want to gander a look. Naomi Watts,Rapper Ice-T,Malcolm McDowell,and Jeff Kober(as Tank Girl's love interest-Booga,a rare comedic turn for Kober),complete the cast of this hilarious film. Don't miss it! You will wonder why you waited so to see this wonderful film!!!
